(KUTV) The Utah State Aggies are headed to Tucson to play the New Mexico State Aggies in the Arizona Bowl on Friday, December 29th. Both teams are 6-6 and both teams are bouncing back from 3-9 campaigns in 2016. For the Aggies it is the sixth bowl trip in seven years. For New Mexico State it is the first bowl trip since they beat Utah State 20-13 in the 1960 Sun Bowl. New Mexico State is aiming for a winning season for the first time since they finished 7-5 in 2002. USU leads the all-time series between the schools 30-7 and has won the last three meetings, but they haven’t met since 2012. Watch Matt Wells reaction to the bowl match-up here.
